4. Wasn't there a Utah poll with Bernie ahead

[Robbins]

5. Yep

These 3 states help kill the memo bernie can only play In Iowa and NH.

13. Yes there was, but

There is no mention of Bernie in body of the story. Take a peek at graph at left of column.

15. It's on page 2 of the story - Hillary comes in 3rd among all Utah voters.

The poll also asked Utahns who they'd like the Democrats to nominate in 2016. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders topped the list, followed by Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to say if he's running.

Among just Democratic voters, Hillary Clinton, former first lady, senator and secretary of state, was a close second to Sanders. In the poll of all Utah voters, however, she was in third place.

6. The Democratic primary demographics are the same though.

Oregon, like New Hampshire and Iowa, features a Democratic primary electorate that is liberal and overwhelmingly white.

FYI I'm a strong Bernie supporter, but winning white liberals will not be enough for him to win the primaries writ large.

7. Just did a search for your posts here on DU. Based on what I read, you're definitely not a

Sanders supporter. Don't think he can win? This isn't the group for you.

10. Apparently you're a fan of sweeping generalizations

Exactly what posts have shown me to be against Sanders? I've been a Sanders fan for over a decade. I'm definitely skeptical that he can win, but that doesn't mean I'm against him. One would think skepticism is important in most contexts, but I guess its value escapes you.

12. What escapes you is this group is for people who support Bernie's candidacy

and are working to make him the nominee. Since you don't think he "has a chance in hell," this isn't the group for you.

9. Good thing white liberals are not his only fans then, not even on DU and certainly not IRL.

[TeacherB87]

11. His appeal is largely based on white liberals.

I'm sure he has many fans that are not white liberals, but check any poll. The vast majority of the non-white Democratic primary electorate does not support him yet. I hope one day that they do, but it hasn't happened yet. Pointing out that he has some non-white supporters doesn't change that.

[merrily]

14. Yes, quite effort was made to ensure that, esp. after his great reception in S.C. with Clyburn.

But, I think Bernie will do, and perhaps is doing, better with African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, etc. than people realized or are willing to admit, even pollsters.

BTW: I am not sure if you know: This group is the one and only place on this board that forbids opining that Bernie will lose the 2016 Democratic Presidential primary; and smokeynj is a host of this group.
